There was once a beautiful ranch that had been established as a fruit farm for 80 years. It had a beautiful red barn [building coverage] set amidst rolling acres of fruit trees and berry vines [trees, vines, stakes, netting]. It was watered from a deep well with portable irrigation equipment [specifically scheduled]. The owner’s personal residence [dwelling] had views of their farm acreage to the west and the mountains to the east. In addition to their farming operation, the family had other occupations and interests. He was a freelance photographer [camera coverage], she had a consulting practice that she operated from the home [professional occupancy], and their children played golf [equipment scheduled].

They decided to plant many more acres of berries and expand their operations. The seasons were plentiful and the employees [Workers’ Compensation] could not harvest all of the bounty. With their increased harvest [product coverage], they expanded into U-Pick Operations [coverage endorsement] and opened a roadside stand [coverage endorsement]. As customers enjoyed their premises, the ranch started offering “agritainment” activities including harvest festivals and mazes [specifically described]. With more guests on the premises, they increased their focus on safety and became known as a beautiful place to spend a few hours with family and friends.
